A sports car driver was left red faced when his expensive Ferrari got stuck in just one foot of flood water, as cheaper cars rode straight through.
The supercharged machine was left marooned in about 0.3 metres of water in the city of Palma in the Spanish holiday island of Majorca.
And while more modest cars passed by on the city's Passeig des Born, it seemed the conditions were too much for the sophisticated Ferrari.
The floods followed heavy rains and storms in the area over the last week which caused rivers to burst their banks.
Tourists and motorists alike were surprised to see many of the city's streets, including those lining the city's beaches, turned into torrents of water.

A mum and her two children were saved in a dramatic rescue after their boat was battered by Hurricane Maria - but the kids' dad was tragically found dead.
Footage taken from a rescue helicopter shows the three survivors on top of the wreckage, as they wave and jump to catch the attention of their saviours.
A British man, understood to be the children's father, was found dead underneath the capsized boat, called the 'Ferrel', after it hit 20ft seas off the coast of Puerto Rico.
The rescue happened near the Caribbean island of Vieques, according to the US Coast Guard, after a distress call was sent out on Wednesday.
Video footage, taken during the rescue at around 11.30am on Thursday, shows the three people being taken up one at a time by the guard.

Footage has emerged of glowing blue algae putting on a stunning underwater light show, leaving beachgoers amazed .
The video , shot earlier this month in the port town of Qinhuangdao in north-eastern China, shows the living creatures giving off an ethereal blue glow .
The effect is caused by bioluminescence - the production and emission of light by living organisms.
The phenomenon is found widely in marine animals, especially in the open sea, with about three-quarters of all deep-sea animals producing some form of light.
But it is much less common to find light-emitting creatures so close to the shore.
Even some land-dwelling creatures, such as fireflies, are bioluminescent.

VIDEOS have emerged showing a surging torrent of water in Puerto Rico as torrential rain and powerful winds brought on by Hurricane Maria increase the threat of widespread flooding.

Local media is reporting that the Fajardo, Espíritu Santo and Rio Grande de Loiza rivers have all broken their banks, increasing the risk of flooding to some of the more highly populated areas of Puerto Rico.

A tsunami warning is in place along the coast of Ponce, a city on the southern coast.

Flash flood warnings are in place for Comerio, Naranjito, Dorado, Toa Baja and Toa Alta as the island is smashed by Hurricane Maria.

Some local journalists are reporting that Río Grande de Loíza, Puerto Rico's largest river by volume, is already threatening some populated areas on the island.

At around 6pm BST officials announced the entire island, home to more than 3.5 million people, had lost power.

Thousands of fish were killed and a two-person boat stalked into a hole after the largest dam in Franca, Brazil was completely drained by mistake on September 15, 2017.

The dam’s staff jumped into a boat to try saving some fish trapped in the mud after the water began to flow uncontrolled to Córrego do Espraiado.

The terrifying video shows the employees’ boat being sucked just above the point of flow that created a huge sinkhole in the middle of the mud. The officials were rescued by a crane and were not injured.

The containment structures had been opened to measure the flow of the Castelinho Dam, but the closure of the gates was hindered by tree branches.

Puerto Rican authorities have warned residents to “evacuate or die”, with just hours to go before Hurricane Maria tears through the island with winds up to 175mph. Maria, the most powerful storm to hit the region in nearly a century, has already barreled through island nations across the Caribbean, leaving widespread devastation in its wake. The Category 5 storm killed one person and injured two others as it tore through Guadeloupe on Monday evening.

Terrifying footage has emerged showing the moment a family of three were sent ‘flying’ after they were struck by lightning while on a hike.
Chris Lovera was walking with his two kids, Aidan, 12, and Nadia, nine, when it began to pour and they were forced to shelter under a tree in Sequoia National Park, California.
uddenly, they were ‘blown up’ by a huge lightning bolt that threw them through the air.
Chris said: ‘One rescuer, Nick Barton, said it looked as if we had been blown up, bodies flying, dirt and debris ejecting from the eight-inch deep furrow made as the lightning exited my right foot and made a direct path through the ground to the lake.’
The father was paralyzed for a short time after the bolt had melted his clothes and caused second-degree burns on his back and arm.
His children also suffered severe burns and punctured eardrums.
The incredible incident was captured on camera by hikers across the water.
It shows the bolt slam down to Earth and a witness says he saw bodies flying through the air.

A 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Mexico on Tuesday, according to the United States Geological Survey.

This strong earthquake occurs on September 19, 32 years after the devastating earthquake of 1985 that left great destruction and thousands of casualties in the country. To commemorate that earthquake the city had prepared very early for a drill that was carried out with the participation of millions of people.

Desperate rescue workers scrabbled through rubble in a floodlit search on Wednesday for dozens of children feared buried beneath a Mexico City school, one of hundreds of buildings wrecked by the country's most lethal earthquake in a generation.

The magnitude 7.1 shock killed at least 217 people, nearly half of them in the capital, 32 years to the day after a devastating 1985 quake.

The disaster came as Mexico still reels from a powerful tremor that killed nearly 100 people in the south of the country less than two weeks ago.

Mexico earthquake: Shake intensity

Among the twisted concrete and steel ruin of the Enrique Rebsamen school, soldiers and firefighters found at least 22 dead children and two adults, while another 30 children and 12 adults were missing, President Enrique Pena Nieto said.

There were chaotic scenes at the school as bulldozers moved rubble under the buzz and glare of floodlights powered by generators, with parents clinging to hope their children had survived.

"They keep pulling kids out, but we know nothing of my daughter," said 32-year-old Adriana D'Fargo, her eyes red after hours waiting for news of her seven-year-old.

At 11 a.m. yesterday, residents in offices, schools and housing estates across Mexico City took part in an earthquake drill timed to commemorate the catastrophic tremor on the same date in 1985. Just over two hours later, a real, 7.1 magnitude quake shook the capital and surrounding states, making skyscrapers sway like they were made of paper, shattering windows and roofs, and toppling entire apartment blocks.

When the quake struck, I was on the twentieth floor of an office building, which moved up and down like a fairground ride as books and folders crashed onto the floor. I wanted to immediately run for my life, but had to wait until we we were told to evacuate, and walk down the twenty flights of stairs in the pitch black, touching the wall for support.

As millions like me poured onto the streets, battling to make their way to their homes and loved ones, it became apparent it had been the most devastating tremor in Mexico since that Sept. 19, 1985 disaster. Within hours, the government declared that more than 200 people had been confirmed dead while many more were buried under the rubble of smashed buildings that had were scattered across the city.

The earthquake caused extensive damage to Mexico City, leveling at least 44 buildings, including homes, schools and office buildings, according to President Enrique Pena Nieto, who did a flyover of the city Tuesday afternoon.

Among the dead are at least 22 people, including students and at least two adults, from a collapsed primary school in the south of the city. Pena Nieto visited the school late Tuesday. He said those 22 bodies have been recovered, but that 30 children and eight adults.

At least 134 people died when a powerful earthquake of magnitude 7.1 struck central Mexico on Tuesday, toppling buildings in the heavily populated capital where rescuers searched rubble frantically for survivors.

Thousands ran into the streets in panic, and millions lost electricity when the quake struck around lunchtime.

Mexico City Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said 44 buildings were severely damaged or destroyed. Several major gas leaks and fires occurred.

Interior Secretary Miguel Angel Osorio Chong told local television that rescue teams were working painstakingly with picks and shovels.

“We have some buildings where we have reports that there could be people inside. They are doing it with lots of caution,” he said, adding that more rescue personnel would be needed.

A magnitude 7.1 earthquake stunned central Mexico on Tuesday, killing at least 120 people as buildings collapsed in plumes of dust. Thousands fled into the streets in panic, and many stayed to help rescue those trapped.

Dozens of buildings tumbled into mounds of rubble or were severely damaged in densely populated parts of Mexico City and nearby states. Mayor Miguel Angel Mancera said buildings fell at 44 places in the capital alone as high-rises across the city swayed sickeningly.

The quake is the deadliest in Mexico since a 1985 quake on the same date killed thousands. It came less than two weeks after another powerful quake caused 90 deaths in the country's south.

Mexico City's mayor said at least 30 died in the capital, and officials in Morelos state, just to the south, said 54 died there.

The pro-Donald Trump "Mother of All Rallies" allowed Black Lives Matter protesters to take the stage and speak Saturday in Washington, D.C.

Black Lives Matters members arrived at the rally and a brief exchange ensued with some members of the M.O.A.R. crowd. The group can be heard chanting "Black Lives Matter" on video.

The Trump rally organizer who was speaking invited the group to come on stage and stand silently. Another Trump rally organizer eventually took the stage and announced that Black Lives Matter would be given an opportunity to speak.

"Whether they disagree or agree with your message is irrelevant. It’s the fact you have the right to have a message, just like all of them have the right to their message," he said.

The President of Black Lives Matters New York then addressed the mostly pro-Trump crowd. The Trump rally speaker who subsequently took the stage commented on Black Lives Matters' speech.

"I'm a black man. If black lives really mattered," he said, "then they need to protest in Chicago. Let's take it to Chicago. Let's bring everybody. We need to have a M.O.A.R. rally in Chicago with BLM."

According to the Mother of All Rallies website, the rally was held to "demand protection for traditional American culture" and support "the United States and the America First agenda."

Keynote speakers included California Congressional candidate Omar Navarro, author Hamody Jasim, and the founder of Latinos for Trump, Marco Gutierrez. The band Madison Rising was the featured performer.

MIAMI — The fierce eye of Hurricane Irma made its second landfall in Florida on Sunday as the full intensity of the storm began battering the state’s Gulf Coast.
After days of alarming warnings forced millions from their homes and effectively shut down daily life across a wide swath of the Southeastern United States, Irma had earlier Sunday made landfall on the lower Florida Keys before beginning what forecasters say could be a painful journey up the state’s western coastline.
The storm breached the Florida coast on Sunday morning, making landfall just after 9 a.m. at Cudjoe Key. After churning through the Keys and on through to Florida’s southwestern coast, Irma’s second landfall occurred in Marco Island, Fla., at 3:35 p.m. A wind gust of 130 mph was reported by the Marco Island police, according to the National Weather Service.

Irma had already made its presence known across South Florida, causing more than a million power outages and lashing major population centers with driving rain and roof-rattling wind. The danger is only just beginning, forecasters warn, because the storm will grind along Florida’s Gulf Coast on Sunday bringing life-threatening storm surge.

“Today is going to the be the long day,” said Mark DeMaria, deputy acting director of the National Hurricane Center in Miami.

[What you need to know about Hurricane Irma and its path]

The hurricane center warned that Irma had created an “imminent danger of life-threatening storm surge flooding along much of the Florida west coast.” While Irma’s path is now likely to hew to Florida’s Gulf Coast, the storm’s sheer size and reach — hurricane-force winds extend about 80 miles from the center, and tropical storm winds extend out 220 miles — means that those scattered through South Florida remain imperiled by its winds and dangerous storm surge.

By Sunday afternoon, the hurricane center said that Irma — which had shifted back to a Category 3 storm — was “impacting all of South Florida.” Irma is forecast to remain a major hurricane as it approaches the densely populated Tampa Bay area, which experts say is woefully ill-equipped to confront a storm of this size. Many people from Florida’s eastern coast had sought refuge around Tampa in recent days before the storm’s path shifted westward.

Irma spent much of Sunday morning over the Florida Keys, the string of islands off the state’s southern coast. The Keys could see up to 25 inches of rainfall and storm surges could wash over the low-lying chain, a popular tourist destination that includes Key West.

“A very dangerous day is unfolding in the Florida Keys and much of West Florida,” Michael Brennan, a senior hurricane specialist at the National Hurricane Center, said in an early morning update Sunday. “It certainly could inundate the entire island. That’s why everyone in the Keys was urged so strongly to evacuate.”

Obviously Hurricane Irma continues to be a threat that is going to devastate the United Stang enough to upf well-built frame homes.

Hurricane Irma made its second landfall on Marco Island on the southwest Florida coast this afternoon after first making landfall in the Florida Keys this morning. The hurricane, which is barreling toward Naples, has left at least three people dead in Florida, including a sheriff's deputy, and over 2.1 million households without power.

By 11 a.m. today the storm had moved away from the Keys and is forecast to continue moving up the western coastline of Florida this afternoon, with winds of up to 115 mph expected in the western part of Collier County, which includes Naples.

In Miami, winds whipped around high-rise buildings at speeds approaching 100 mph, the National Weather
